 "AMAZING!!!!!!!!"at first, i never was really interested in this movie until i've seen all the reviews everyone made(most of them said it was good)so i got more interested in Princess Mononoke. i first bought the cd which has amazing music.i just bought my dvd earlier this week and let me tell you, it is truly an amzing movie. i watched it 3 times already and i still have not grown tired of it. Sure, it has some violent scenes but besides that it is a very good movie. I am just 13 and I have loved this movie. Although this movie is very good, i recommend it is not a movie for children because of all the violence but if you are old enough, it will seem like a good movie.  "Good movie"It had a good story about with some strong themes. Predominating themes were love, honor, man vs. nature and nature vs. machines. The art was beautiful. There were some elements of comedy, and of course the gore (oh, there goes that man's arm!). The movie is essentially about a man who kills a demon but gets infected by it. In his search to find where the demon originated, he becomes caught between two different worlds-nature's struggle against man, and the society where the people are good but are hurting the environment. Actually, for the movie to be called Princess Mononoke is a little strange, she's the secondary major character. It's more about the young man. Overall it was a good movie. I rented it first, which is what I would recommend with all Animes because everyone has different tastes. "Rated for a reason."To Soccer75... PG-13 means that it's for people aged 13 and above. It is implied that people of those ages are mature enough to understand and handle the content within. It's NOT FOR JUNIOR. Don't blame whoever decided on the rating for your inattentiveness. Also, do the words "fairy tale" or "myth" mean anything to you? In short, please take your closed mind elsewhere. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Anyways, this is perfect fare to be watched on the computer with a pair of headphones on. As was stated above, this has a PG-13 rating FOR A REASON. Even I, a mature young woman of 19 years, was disgusted at points by the gore. If you have a young child into anime, try lighter fare like some of the things shown on Cartoon Network's Toonami block, dubbed Sailor Moon, or Code LYOKO. For folks still hanging around, there's lush visuals, beautiful audio, and decent voiceacting to be enjoyed (headphones!), as well as a wonderful story told through those mediums. Wolves, apes, cute little rattle-head thingies, and boars abound, some playing pivotal roles. Bonds of trust and loyalty are shown. There is love, hate, and compassion all woven in. Everything flows together wonderfully. If you can get over the violence (and have an open mind), this is definitely one to see. I for one enjoyed it. "I thought it was a good movie, but...."I guess you're all just too immature for it. Heck, I'm 13, and I can take the blood and the gore and limbs and heads being sliced off. Maybe some of you are too ignorant to realize that this movie isn't intended for your innocent, five year old little children. I don't get why you all think its so confusing. I thought the plot was quite simple, actually. And it isn't as environmentalist than some of you are saying. Its just a movie about the war between human and nature. I guess, since I liked this movie, I MUST be a tree-hugger. "The pigs have pus and boils and moving hamburger meat all over them!!!" OH MY GOD. Someone dissed the Asians, too, because pigs are signs of Satan? Well. I wasn't aware. You all should be more accepting of the culture of Japan. You're all so immature. I thought this was a beautiful movie, with a wonderful story to it. The music was lovely, and the characters were interesting, especially Princess Mononoke herself. But if you don't want to watch this, and you'd rather "go watch Ninja Scroll", go ahead. "A nature lover's tale indeed..."An enchanting tale of demons, gods, humans, and the ultimate power of nature over all of them. I loved the music and the action. Lots of good fight scenes to be found here. If you are a nature-loving anime fan then this is definately the movie for you. I think the boar demon is a metaphor for the anger of spirits used to make hotdog meat. Maybe that's just me... |
